Since Gagosian Gallery began showing design with a solo show of Marc Newson in 2007, it has expanded its activity in the territory of design. Now, a new show of colored mirrors by French architect Jean Nouvel, opened in Gagosian London. Opened in collaboration with Galerie Patrick Seguin, the show, entitled "Triptyques," consists of a series of limited edition mirrors. They reflects Nouvel's architectural commissions, and clearly correspond to his building design. I am particularly referring to Nouvel's 40 Mercer where he used colored glass of yellow, red, and blue to express the purity of the austere form.

I am delighted to finally open my small design store, a source for discovering beautiful, affordable, great design objects, all created by those designers I love and respect. Whenever I use one of these cheese boards at my dinner parties, I always get tons of complements, thus I have chosen to offer them at my design store. They are crafted by Yoav S. Liberman, a trained architect who has devoted his career to woodworking. He is writing about wood, teaching woodworking, and has developed a thorough philosophy, according to which wood is a renewable material. What I love about his handcrafted cheese boards is not only their unusual and stylish forms, but also the fact that each one is crafted of salvaged wood, of pieces of wood that otherwise would have found their way into the fireplace. Under Yoav’s talented and skillful hands, these boards are acquired a new life, each is distinguished, each is unique, and their forms are determined by the natural property of the wood.
